Saturn's moon Enceladus is known for spewing jets of water-ice into space, with new research revealing a potential mechanism behind this phenomenon. Reading time 2 minutes Jostling on the fault lines ...

The possibility that Saturn's moon Enceladus could support life has strengthened after researchers determined its ocean is likely 1 billion years old, placing it in the sweet spot. Speaking at the ...

Heat is escaping from Saturn’s moon Enceladus at its north pole, as well as the south, a reanalysis of data from the Cassini spacecraft reveals. This discovery suggests the moon is in rough energy ...

Two studies suggest that a moon of Saturn called Enceladus has active hydrothermal vents at the bottom of an ice-covered sea — and that the heat from those vents warms the sea to a temperature that ...
